AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020
February 11, 2021

the quarter ending December 31,2020.It has been
prepared to comply with regulations contained in
California Government Code Section 53646 .The report
includes all investments managed by the City on its

a fiduciary basis such as the Whale Rock Commission.

Market Themes
Markets Weigh Massive Policy Support Against Economic Challenges
Coronavirus
•Resurgence in fourth quarter due to
colder weather
•Initial distribution of v accines
Economy
•Recovery continues
•Big business built liquidity cushion
•Consumers generally in good shape to drive
future spending
•Impact of pandemic not felt evenly
Markets
•Markets rally after pre sidential election
•Fed c ommitted to strong accommodation
•Additional fiscal stimulus on the way
Market
Considerations
•The Fed reaffirmed its
commitment to utilize the full
scope of its monetary authority
until a full economic recovery is
achieved. It kept short-term
rates in their current range of
0.00% to 0.25%.
•The U.S. Treasury yield curve
steepened during the quarter.
Short-term rates (on maturities
less than five years) were
essentially unchanged, while
yields on maturities beyond five
years increased by 10 to 25
basis points (0.10% to 0.25%).

Market
Considerations
•Diversification away from
U.S. Treasuries was again
additive to performance in
the fourth quarter. Following
two consecutive quarters of
significant spread
retracement, most sectors
continued to inch tighter as
investors sought all outlets
for additional yield.
•Investment grade corporates
outpaced the performance of
most other sectors during the
quarter. Corporates proved
to be a valuable asset class
for both the quarter and for
all of 2020, despite
significant market disruptions
early in the year.

What we are
watching…
•Due to the economic
progress to date, the Fed
released more optimistic
projections for 2021,
lowering its unemployment
rate forecast and raising its
forecast for real gross
domestic product (GDP).
•As 2020 ends, the
uncertainties of 2021 now
come into focus. Significant
central bank intervention is
expected to continue, and
we expect interest rates to
remain low for the
foreseeable future. The
speed of vaccine rollouts will
ultimately drive the pace of
the anticipated “return to
normalcy.”

Current Cash & Investment Summary
The following is a summary of the City’s cash and
investments based on market value, as of
December 31, 2020, compared to the prior quarter.
Investment Entity December 31, 2020 September 30, 2020 Percent of Total**
City Held Cash & Investments $23,330,369 $40,839,184 15%
LAIF Held Investments $23,912,821 $23,862,150 16%
PFM Managed Investments*$103,665,721 $83,585,116 69%
Trustee Held Investments $72,529 $72,376 <1%
TOTAL $150,981,441 $148,358,826 100%
*Figures shown exclude accrued interest. **Details may not add up to total due to rounding.
Current Cash & Investment Summary
There are several factors which
result in changes in cash and
investment balances from
month-to-month and quarter-to-
quarter, dependent on the
receipt of revenues or a large
disbursement.
•Some major City revenues are received on a periodic rather
than a monthly basis. Property Tax is received in December,
January, April, and May of each year. Transient Occupancy
Tax is received monthly but varies considerably due to
seasonality.
•Payments for bonded indebtedness or large capital projects
can reduce the portfolio substantially in the quarter in which
they occur.
•The City pays its CalPERS obligation in a lump sum at the
beginning of the fiscal year to achieve interest savings.

Securities in the City’s
portfolio are priced by
Refinitiv, an independent
pricing service at the end of
every month. In some
cases, the City may have
investments with a current
market value that is greater
or less than the recorded
value. These changes in
market value are due to
fluctuations in the
marketplace having no
effect on yield, as the City
does not intend to sell
securities prior to maturity.
Nevertheless, these market
changes can impact the
total value of the portfolio.
Total Return
Total return is calculated
based on interest and both
realized and unrealized
changes in market value;
this is expressed as a rate of
return over a specified
period of time based on cost
and is backward -looking.

Investment Objectives
The investment objectives of the City of San Luis Obispo are first, to
provide safety of principal to ensure the preservation of capital in the
overall portfolio; second, to provide sufficient liquidity to meet all operating
requirements; and third, to earn a commensurate rate of return consistent
with the constraints imposed by the safety and liquidity objectives. The
City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments for all funds
under its direct control. Funds held by outside fiscal agents under
provisions of bond indentures are maintained separately. Interest earned
on pooled cash and investments is allocated quarterly to the various
Quarterly Investment Report funds based on the respective fund’s
average quarterly cash balance. Interest earned from cash and
investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related accounts.
It is common for governments to pool the cash and investments of various
funds to improve investment performance. By pooling funds, the City can
benefit from economies of scale, diversification, liquidity, and ease of
administration. The City uses the services of an investment advisor, PFM
Asset Management, to manage a portion of the City’s portfolio. The City’s
strategy is to retain approximately 25% of the portfolio to manage its day -
to -day cash flow needs, while PFM’s focus is on longer -term investment
management. In addition, the City has retained direct control of several
investments that had been acquired before the City began to use
investment advisors. All investments are held by the City in a safekeeping
account with Bank of New York Mellon, except for investments held by
trustees related to bond financings, which are held by either US Bank or
Bank of New York Mellon.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Investment Objectives
ESG i nvesting i s the p r ocess of i ncorp orating t he anal ysis of non-
financial environmental, social, and governance factors into investment
decisions alongside traditional financial criteria. As set forth in the
City’s Investment Management Plan dated August 18, 2020, it is the
City’s objective to integrate environmental, social, and governance
(“ESG”) factors into investment decisions for its investment portfolio to
the extent practical and possible.
In order to achieve this o bjective, the City w ill ap ply the ESG
Investment Criteria to the following Investments: A sset -Backed
Securities, Bankers’ Acceptances, C ommercial Paper, Corporate,
Medium-Term & Bank N otes, and N egotiable Bank D eposit O bligations.
The ESG investment criteria is based on ESG Risk Ratings, industry and
sub-industry definitions, and sub-industry rankings as provided by
Sustainalytics.

ESG Q4 2020
Summary
•On average, the portfolio
maintained medium ESG risk
as of December 31, 2020.
•The portfolio’s average ESG
risk rating improved quarter-
over-quarter as a result of
modest adjustments to issuer
ratings and the sale of Wells
Fargo & Company.
•At the issuer level, ESG risk
ratin gs ranged from 10.9
(low risk) to 36.2 (high risk)
as of December 31, 2020.
•The Portfolio’s ESG risk
exposure score remained
within the medium range. A
lower ESG exposure score
generally decreases ESG risk.
•The Portfolio’s ESG
Management rating also
remained within the medium
range quarter-over-quarter.
Higher management scores
generally reduce ESG risk.

fluctuate significantly from year

It is the City’s policy to make
investment decision based on
holding them through maturity.

allocated across the funds on
a quarterly basis.
The allocation is performed
based on average quarterly

Historical Cash Balances
Plotting the historical balance of the City's
Checking account reveals the seasonality
inherent in its operations. Despite this
seasonality the City's cash balance have
increased steadily since 2017
However, given the uncertainties that came
with 2020, prior efforts to reduce the City's
cash balance were delayed as a precaution.
To address the increase in excess cash, the City
revisited discussions to better utilize these
funds.
Monthly Portfolio Balances
With the help of PFM, historical
portfolio balances and seasonal data
were analyzed in addition to liquidity
needs.
The City decided on a 15% liquidity
cushion on top of its minimum
required liquidity to meet its cash
flow needs.
The result was a $20 million transfer
of excess cash from its Chase Bank
account into higher yield securities
with PFM.
This transfer occurred in December
of 2020.

Earnings Allocation
Investment Earnings from the City's
portfolio are distributed across
multiple funds on quarterly basis
based on cash balances in each of the
funds.
Therefore, the transferring of excess
cash into securities with higher yields
than the City's Checking Account has
a direct impact on these fund
balances.
